RUINS OE CARTHAGE
A Visit to Spot Covered with the Dust
of Three Empires.

OI IDree EMPIRES
From the Bah Kadra, gate of Tunis,
it is drive of about nine miles to the
site of Carthage, and it is a good days
work to see the ruins scattered over a
territory three or four miles square.
Above ground hardly one Stone is
left upon another. Here and there at
wide intervals explorers have dug
bitches and uncovered some pieces of
tesselated pavement, or the floor and
walls and marble basins of some bath.
Near the sea at the Byrsa, the ancient
citadel hill of the Punic town, and also
a mile or two inland at the Arab vii
lage Ell Malka, are vast cisterns or
subterranean reservoirs, series of
vaulted tanks of masonry which once
held the city's water supply. An
amphitheater, the outlines of which
may be traced with difficulty, theater
that is a formless heap of half-buried
ruins, great masses of fallen masonry,
fragments of walls still in position,
hillocks of rubbish, and everywhere the
dust of three empires, and the debris
of three Carriages destroyed in success
sion-the whole is still a puzzle to
psychologists and confusion to the
mind of the traveller who goes thither
prepared to expend sentiment over the
remains of Dido's own town.
The church of Rome holds position
of advantage with reference to the
ruins of the city where so many early
Christians suffered martyrdom. A arrange
of high hills stands between the sea and
the wide plain which stretches away to-
ward Tunis. The earliest Carthage was
on these hills, close to the port; the city
as it grew reached out upon the plain.
Among the most conspicuous objects
on the crest of the, coast hills, either
from the interior or from the sea as you
approach Goletta, is the great white
palace occupied by Cardinal Lavigerie.
Near by is the vast cathedral which
this ambitious and energetic prelate is
carrying toward completion on historic
ground. The ancient citadel of Car
thage, as has been said, is crowned by
CliC OlldpCl VI ~. LOulS, cIcCIcu DN
Louis Philippe in memory of his sainted
but unlucky ancestor, who died here of
the plague six hundred years ago, dur
ing the eighth crusade, while retreating
from before the walls of Tunis. Here,
too, is the College of St. Louis. In the
rich lowlands beneath the hills, on the
side away from the sea, are the palaces
and villas of Ell Marsa, the Bey's home,
and the houses of many of his high
officers of state or army.
Still higher than the Roman Catholic
settlement, however, dominating it
from the side of the hill that is stopped
by the Cape Carthage lighthouse, stand
the whitest of Moslem villages, the
holy town of Sid Bou Said. 1t is one
of the most picturesque places in the
world, and is in other respects interest
ing. Curiously enough, many of the
Arabs believe that st. Louis died a con-
vert to the Mohammedan faith, and
that his remains are buried at Sidi Bou
. Said. The sacredness of the village,
from whatever cause it may be derived,
is confirmed by the residence there of
the Sheik ell Islam of Tunis.-Cor. BoS-

LAUGHABLE SCENES.
Extraordinary Marriage Customs Obtain

Extraordinary Marriage Customs Obtain
ing Among the Transylvanlan Saxons,
When the young people go to church
the day after the wedding. they are met
at the church door by group of masked
figures who surround them, singing and
hooting, and playfully endeavor to sepa-
rate the young matron from her nus
band. If they succeed in so doing, then
he must win her back in hand to-hand
fight with his adversaries, or else he
must give a piece of money as her
ransom. In general it is considered a
bad omen for the married life of the
young couple if the wife be separated
from her husband on this occasion;
therefore it is customary for the young
husband to take his stand close by the
church door while his wife is PRAYING
within, and then be ready to catch hold
of her as soon as she steps outside. For
greater precaution, the man often holds
her round the waist with both hands
during the dance which Immediately
takes place before the church, and at
which they assist merely as spectators,
taking no active part, as it is not con-
sidered seemly to dance in the church
attire.
As commonly several couples are
married at the same time, it is usual
for each separate wedding-party to
bring its own band of music, and dance
thus Independently of the others. On
the occasion of triple wedding l lately
witnessed, it was very amusing to
watch the three wedding-parties COM
ing down the street, each accelerating
its pace till it came to be sort of race
up to the church-door to secure the
best dancing-place, The ground being
rough and slanting, there was only one
spot where any thing like flat dane
ing-foor could be obtained, and the
winning party at once secured this en-
viable position, while the others had to
put up with an inclined plane or a few
hillocks accidenting their ballroom
floor. The ten to sixteen couples be-
longing to each wedding-party are
inclosed in a ring of bystanders.
each rival band of music playing away
with heroic disregard for the scorched
ears of the listeners. "Polkar' calls
out the first group; "WaIzer" roars
the second, for it is point of honor
that each party should display noble
independence in taking its own line of
action; and if, out of mere coincidence,
two of the bands happen to strike up
the self-same tune, one of them is sure
to change to something totally different
as soon as aware of the unfortunate
mistake-the caterwauling effect pro-
duced by this system battling all de-
scription. "This is nothing at all"
said the worthy pastor, from whose
garden l was overlooking the scene,
laughing at the evident dismay with
which l endeavored to stop my ears"

that she had recently purchased a pair

Historical Notes on the Ancient Exercise
of Foot-Racing.

Historical Notes on the Ancient Exercise
of Foot-Racing.
There is no kind of exercise that has
more uniformly met the appreciation of
authors in general than running. In
the Middle Ages foot-racing was con-
sidered as an essential part of young
mans education, especially if he was
the son of a man of rank, and brought
up to military profession. 1t is need
less to assert the antiquity of this pas
time, because it will readily occur to
every one that variety of occasions con-
tinually present themselves which call
forth the exertion of running even in
childhood, and, when more than one
person are stimulated by the same OBJ
ject, competition naturally takes
place among them to obtain it.
Originally, perhaps, foot-races had
no other Indictment than emulation, or
at best the prospect of some small re-
ward; but, in the process of time, the
rewards were magnificd, and contests
of this kind were instituted at public
.amusements, the ground marked out
for that purpose, and judges appointed
to decide upon the fairness of the race,
to ascertain the winner, and to bestow
the reward. In former times, accord
ing to Commenius, it was customary
for the places appropriated to foot
races to be rallied in on either side, and
the prize giver stood at the goal to de-
liver the reward to the person who
should first touch it. He probably
means at the Olympic game, among
which foot-racing was one.
In the present day, neither in this
country nor abroad, are foot-races
much encouraged by persons of for
tune, and seldom happen but for the
purpose of betting, and the racers are
generally paid for their performance.
In many instances the distance does not
not exceed one hundred yards. Affairs,
and upon many other occasions where
many people are assembled together,
this species of amusement is sometimes
promoted, but most frequently the con-
test is confined to the younger part of
the concourse.
Two centuries back, running, accord
ing to Peacham, was thought to be an
exercise by no means derogatory to the
rank of nobility; and a poetical writer
in the celebrated Cotton manuscript,
written early in the fifteenth century,
recommends it strongly to the practice
0f the soldiery. Golden Days.

Enough to make an angel weep
That such a thing should be; =.
That man himself should be the proof
OF mans depravity!
Within the gutter lying low
A drunken man was seen,
Whose very looks betokened that
A nobler man he'd been!
A lovely girl, some six years old,
With curly, golden hair
Was kneelng by the wretched man.
Now list, her earnest prayer:
Come, father; come let us go homer
He needed not her cry;
And striving hard to raise him up
Her little hands didtry.
Wearied, the tears fell down her cheeks
But still she fingered there,
Hoping her father would awake,
And heed her earnest prayer.
The passers-by looked on amazed,
Such sight of pity and disdain;
And in their heart of hearts they asked
They ne'er might see again.
But needing not her cry at length
The sweet child fastened home
Saying: Mamma! papa's asleepl
can not make him come"
The mother brushed away her tears,
And said: Don't weep my child,
Your dear papa will wallen soon,"
And then the prattler smiled.
Sweet child! oh may'st thou never know
The bitter curse of rum;
But yet may thy dear father prove
A blessing in his home.
Oh! sweet child-faith! in mercy given,
Lest thy young heart should break;
So may we trust our God in Heaven,

Bed-Spring Fire Escapes.

Bed-springs have been utilized to
form a fire-escape, which consists of
four sets of springs seven feet long and
just wide enough when laid together to
sit in bed frame. Each set is attached
to the adjoining one by clamp, which
unites iron appendages fastened to the
end of the springs. These appendages
add to the length of the arrangement
so as to make it about thirty feet long
when hanging out of the window. One
side of each set of springs is fitted with
rungs made of wrought iron, the only
part of the contrivance not of steel.
These rungs, which are on the outside
when the springs depend from the
window, and about fifteen inches apart,
form pretty strong ladder, which may
be made use of for descent. Boston
